i'm sure there's a way around it..there usually is but it just makes it more frustrating and time consuming.....things are never easy are they?! good luck with it.

...and do you need the points for "specific employment", because if you don't it may be that your "basic requirement work experience" could be for a slightly different job role (as long as it's on the SOL), i.e. perhaps your profession but at a less qualified level, if you get my meaning :)
